week1 6-8 reps 4 sets (failure)

Hey dude,

I think your micro is fine. See how it goes as far as recovery and if you dont have any problems then go with it. If you are having a hard time recovering then just do 2 off days and start it over again. As far as the meso goes I would do week 3 1st and no need to add a 5th because the lighter weights and crosstraining will accomplish what a detrain would.

Personally I like to have a longer meso. I've tried one week before, but if you're transitioning from 8-12 to 1-3 and adding two sets, it's damned hard to know what the appropriate weights are. That's why I do 3 weeks. It helps me get in a groove.
